@DrWhax Only three Months in advance, and they were offered a chair? Sounds like they got a special
treatment... guests generally sit on the floor, if they ask nicely, or stand.

@AmandaKloppenb1 @SamsungNL Precies dit, ik heb ook geen reactie gekregen

@jilliancyork I hope cool does not refer to a chilling effect...

@jilliancyork @TomTospace @Lifeandthestars That is what UTC is meant to fix, but people (specially British) seem to forget it does not observe summertime. otherwise the only thing you have to remember is current offset between UTC and your current TZ. I agree the 2 week disparity between US and EU summertime is horrendous

Last week we suffered the biggest DDoS attacks we encountered to date. We successfully dealt with them, and improved along the way. Here's how things went down: [THREAD] 1/

@verfben @Politie Wij zullen inderdaad wel aangifte doen, maar de pakkans is inderdaad zeer laag bij dit soort aanvallen.

[Sacha van Geffen @sachavg]

Thank you for all the kind words of support to our team. And a big thanks towards our users that put their trust in us. We will wrap up and publish a report on the attacks in a few days.

@verfben @freekdegreef @job_polak @greenhost De netwerken die hierachter zitten zijn groot en professioneel. ze maken gebruik van slecht geupdate computers, servers, en zelfs IoT devices van onwetende anderen om aanvallen te doen. Houdt dus zelf je systemen up-to-date om geen onderdeel te worden van zo een netwerk.

[Sacha van Geffen @sachavg]

@verfben @freekdegreef @job_polak @greenhost Greenhost heeft zich niet uitgesproken heeft over wie er achter de aanvallen zit, danwel of dit "scriptkiddies" zijn. Een groot probleem dat media (van alle achtergronden) wereldwijd teistert is inderdaad dat het relatief makkelijk en goedkoop is om een DDoS aanval te kopen. 1/2

@jsrailton @WhatsApp @signalapp while a resolution is far from actual implemented law in member states, the fact that this is on the table again is worrying. Specially with the deplorable state of democracy in some member states, this should not even be discussed.

[John Scott-Railton @jsrailton]

BREAKING: Austrian press reporting EU Council of Ministers have an 'almost complete' resolution on the table to ban end to end encryption on apps like @whatsapp & @signalapp. Waiting on further reporting. https://t.co/jgLfsGnn9Q

Ik weet dat niemand zit te wachten op dit gezeur van mij, maar het is toch on-ge-fucking-lofelijk dat de premier ons midden in een dodelijke pandemie naar facebook dwingt voor info over publieke gezondheid

@dirkvanderwoude zo te zien een klant van greenhost. whois wordt vaak gedeeltelijk afgeschermd.

[Save Internet Freedom Tech @SaveOTF]

Over 2 billion people use OTF-supported technology, and more than two-thirds of all mobile users globally have technology incubated by OTF on their device. Save @OpenTechFund from @USAGMgov's takeover!
